What are grounds for divorce in Colorado?

The Colorado courts will grant a divorce upon finding that a marriage is
"irretrievably broken." This means that the only requirement
is that the petitioner is able to prove irreconcilable differences between
the two parties. Additionally, a divorce decree is granted by the court
regardless of which partner is at "fault" in the situation.
Colorado is known as a "no-fault" divorce state, which means
that there is no need to prove wrongdoing of the other spouse in order
to have your divorce granted.

Am I eligible for a divorce or annulment?

Divorce is defined as the final ending or dissolving of a marriage as ordered
by the court. In order to file for a divorce within a certain county,
you or your spouse must have lived in the county for at least 90 days.
If you do not want to file for a divorce, but rather want to prove that
the marriage was not valid — i.e., obtain an annulment — there
are other ways by which you end the marriage.

By declaring a marriage to be invalid through an annulment, one of the
following scenarios must apply:

One spouse was not able to give consent due to mental incapacity or because
he / she was under the influence of alcohol or drugs

One spouse did not have the capacity to consummate the marriage but the
other spouse was unaware of this at the time of the marriage

One spouse was under the age of consent and did not receive parental permission
to become married

The marriage was entered into as a dare or joke

You can also request a legal separation in lieu of a divorce. If you and
your spouse become legally separated, you will technically still be married
but you are permitted to live separately. Matters of child custody and
support still need to be resolved if you pursue a legal separation, just
as you would in a divorce case.

How long will my divorce take?

Depending on whether you file a contested or uncontested divorce, your
case could take anywhere from six months to one year. Our legal team however,
can help you obtain temporary orders that protect you and appeal to your
best interests while details of the divorce are being resolved. With our
extensive experience and vast knowledge of Colorado family law, we know
how a judge is likely to rule on any given case. Our goal is to help you
formulate a compelling and persuasive case so that you can achieve a satisfactory outcome.
